When I was first made aware of this book I got ridiculously excited. A look at music and politics, with bands like Kenickie looked at? It sounded perfect. After reading it I am still very impressed; it makes some fantastic points I hadn't thought about before, but I can't help wishing it had gone a bit more in depth or was a tiny bit longer. That can only be a good thing though, I thought what was there was very good indeed.

mostly good on the 90s, not so good on current/recent cultural trends (and particularly bad when it just repeats some ideas from retromania entirely uncritically).
